The Department of OHNS ( http://med.stanford.edu/ohns/) is recruiting for a basic science tenure-track faculty position. The successful candidate will be appointed at the level of assistant, associate, or full professor.

Scientists from a wide variety of disciplines are welcome to apply as long as their research relates to issues relevant to otolaryngology. A few illustrative fields include developmental biology, genetics, molecular and cellular biology, biophysics, cancer, auditory physiology, voice physiology, auditory and vestibular prosthesis development, bioengineering, stem cell and gene therapy. Collaborations with academic clinicians is encouraged. The successful researcher will be part of an interdisciplinary and collaborative team in a lab close to Stanford campus with ample opportunity for interaction with a broad spectrum of scientists including world-class programs in neuroscience, genetics, biomedical engineering, and bioinformatics, to name a few.

Resources available include substantial funds for equipment acquisition and program initiation, as well as appropriate laboratory facilities.

The predominant criterion for appointment in the University Tenure Line is a major commitment to research and teaching.

Letters of inquiry and curriculum vitae as well as the names and addresses of five references should be sent to: Stefan Heller, PhD - Chair of Basic Science Search Committee, Department of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery, 801 Welch Road, Stanford, CA 94305-5739; sheller@ohns.stanford.edu.
